Off-season thread - favorite punt or kickoff return for LSU

One of my favorites has to be Chad Jones against MSU. Even without the Peterson windmill escort it was a great return and turned out to be a game winner.

Tyrann Mathieu vs Arkansas 2011
As soon as it happened, everyone knew that was ballgame.

So many from TM7.
I also remember one from Trindon Holliday, I believe it was 06 vs Arky at War Memorial. We had been in decent control but some momentum was shifting to Ark when they returned a kickoff for a touchdown and the place was starting to get juiced...I think it was Felix Jones. The very next kickoff, TH ran it back for a touchdown to get that whole stadium shut the eff up silent.
I also remember watching him toe drag through the end zone while he was celebrating, and the rooster tail of the rubber pellet astro grass stuff coming up behind him because of his speed was both hilarious and impressive. Happened right in front of me, so I remember it well.

TM7 against Georgia. The one that wasn’t a TD.

Eddie Kennison vs Miss St in Tiger Stadium. 100 yards.

Odell Beckham vs Ole Miss 2012 was huge

There will only be one correct answer. Queue the windmill

Billy Cannon is the obvious answer.
Other huge impacts...2006 Holliday at Arkansas
2008 Jones at Miss. State
2011 TM7 Georgia - honestly, the one he didn't score was the best one
I will say this...Devery Henderson's vs. UGA in 2003 after the 93-yard TD was monumental to setup the Mauck-Green GW TD pass. If LSU loses that game, who knows where history takes us.

My favorite punt return was the one that didn’t happen.

The video of Bobby Petrino mouthing F U to Les across the field after the play was priceless...

Tommy Casanova's two punt returns for touchdowns against Ole Miss in 1970. That tied an NCAA record that stood for 33 years.
I watched the game on television at my girlfriend's house. She and her family were huge Ole Miss fans. When Casanova intercepted Archie Manning and then returned the two punts they filled the air with a chorus of profanities. I loved every second of it.

Didn't this happen after Les elected to kick a FG late in the game to add the score?

Was coming here to say this. While Billy Cannon’s run will go down as a Top 5, if not 3, for all time in all of CFB, that return by DV after that rowdy commercial timeout after the UGA touchdown was HUGE!!

Mo Claiborne at West Virginia. WVU just scored to make it a 6 point game and their stadium was rocking. Ensuing kickoff Claiborne housed it for 99 yards.

Todd Kinchen was always fun to watch at LSU--he always seemed to come out of a pack and take off. He still holds the NFL record (tied with a few others) with 2 punt return TD's in one game.

Another favorite is Trindon Holliday with the 92 yd KO return on 2006 against Arkansas. Darren McFadden had just gone 80 yds untouched up the middle for a TD and the stadium in Little Rock was going crazy. The Hogs kicked off and Trindon took off and the stadium went from wild to absolute silence…
Except for the screaming Tiger fans!!

It was McFadden on a wildcat right up the middle for 80 yards.
We were in the end zone and watched the seas part and McFadden run untouched up the middle, then watched Trindon run the opposite way and shut the Piggies up.
The Pig next to me was screaming they had us on McFaddens run, then shut up after Trindon said “hold my beer”
